C U, Family Mart

  I've often said that Family Mart was my favourite bar in Korea, and I've always meant it.  Well, no more of that.  Family Mart, a Japanese company (gasp!), has been bought out by CU.  Apparently there are CU stores in North Korea, for whatever that's worth.  What's the difference between the two stores?  Nothing.  It seems like CU ran out of CU signs, because there are hideous half-Family Mart/half-CU chimeras all over town.
  Oh, a few weeks back I was awoken by the sound of drunken Korean women screeching out in the parking lot below my window.  Happens all the time.  The one was trying to prevent the other from driving off.  At one point the driver got out, squatted behind the car, and unleashed a prodigious torrent of urine that  trickled a good 30 feet.  So after that, she got back in and started to drive off.  Her friend kept jumping in front of the car, causing the driver to shudder to a halt.  All of this to the soundtrack of lovely drunken profanity and screeching.  Enough was enough for the race-horse, because after a few false-starts she floored it.  Her friend was thrown onto the hood, and the car tore off around the corner with the poor friend clinging to the windshield wipers, screaming 'AAAAAHHHHHhhhhhhhh....' into the distance.  Never a dull moment in Gohyeon, innit.
